Bandera de México

/va-ke-TON/

A shameless, irresponsible person who avoids their obligations without caring what anyone thinks. In Mexico, a 'vaquetón' is someone who owes everyone, never shows up when they should, and somehow always has an excuse ready — and never feels bad about any of it.

Example

"That deadbeat never pays what he owes."

"What a shameless person — they called his job and he still didn't move."
